Tales of Yore! A history of Aibhilin NicCarthaigh! [I Love Sitting Around a Camp Fire]
As a teenager I really felt the over protective pressures of both my parents, my mother because she understood from her own experience the effect of hormones and the monthly cycle (I'm not talking about a long bike ride here if you was wondering 😔). My father, well be would tell you what boys are about! Yes it was scary growing up and having their worries hammered in to your very psyche!
Still there were times of escape, which were always paid for somehow, when I knew my little group of friends would be going along the wragged coast to the little cove where others would light a camp fire 🔥 above where the sea stretched it 's fingers (well I know it's the ocean where I'm from! And why can't the sea have fingers if fish can from Findus and Birds Eye!?)
We joined a lively group and we played music and danced around the bright tongues of flame that poked out into the night from the burning wood. I never joined those who stripped for the bacchanale but I played my viola, accompanying the fiddles and guitar and bodhran. It was such fun feeling free, and I always delighted when I could escape too, and at last I would let the cold sea touch my toes before we can back to our lives beyond.
